II. CÂU HỎI VÀ CÂU TRẢ LỜI MẪU

Câu hỏi và câu trả lời gợi ý cho topic MARRIAGE AND FAMILY

PART 1:

• • Are you married or single?/ Can you tell me something about your marriage/ marital status?

Gợi ý trả lời:

• • I’m engaged but I’m not married yet. We plan to get married this month after I have taken the IELTS test.
  • We fell in love with each other at first sight and got married a year later
  • I’ve been married for about 20 years. We got married in my home town, where we had a large reception for our relatives and friends

• • Can you tell me what happen at wedding?

Gợi ý trả lời:

Well, it varies from place to place and from time to time. But usually a wedding begins early in the morning. The bridegroom, together with some of his relatives and friends, has to pick up the bride and her family from her home with beautifully-decorated cars. Then, the two families and friends will usually have a banquet together

• • How about your wedding?/ Describe your wedding. Was there any kind of ceremony?

Gợi ý trả lời:

As for my wedding, I had a simple ceremony. I just invited some of our colleagues and relatives to enjoy a cup of tea and some candies because I had just graduated from university, and we did not have a lot of money. My wife looked very pretty in traditional “Ao Dai”, so glamorous. And I was also very handsome in my black suit. We both looked great. We spent our honey moon in Da Nang City, a well-known destination for honeymooners

• • How have people’s attitudes towards wedding ceremonies changed in Vietnam?

Gợi ý trả lời:

I think people have really changed their attitudes towards wedding ceremonies. As time goes on, people have paid so much attention to how the wedding can be presented. But 30 years ago, even 10 years ago, people would like to have a simple wedding so that they could save the money for future family expenditure. Nowadays, weddings can be extremely fanciful and extravagant. They would hire luxurious cars, invite as many guests as possible, and get the most expensive reception dinner. Well, it’s certainly understandable that with the improvement of people’s living standard, they can afford all these.

• • What are people’s attitudes towards divorce?

Gợi ý trả lời:

Well, nowadays, people are more open to this issue. They no longer regard it as a disaster or the end of the world. But women used to be the victims of divorce as they were economically dependent. The divorced women would be humiliated since other always put the blame on the women. So, a woman would not choose to leave the husband for the sake of children and herself no matter how much suffering she had in her marriage. Nowadays, as women enjoy equal rights and economical independence, they would want a divorce for the sake of children and their own happiness if they are not happy with their marriage. They think that it’s simply a fact of life. If there is no longer any love, they’d better separate and give freedom to each other

• • At what age can people be allowed to get married in Vietnam?/ Did you have to ask for permission from your parents before you got married?

Gợi ý trả lời:

Usually, the minimum age limit for a man is 20 and a woman is 18. But now, many people prefer to get married later than that. I did not have to ask for permission from my parents but I did ask them for their approval to show my respect.

• • Could you tell me something about your family?/ Do you live in a big or small family?

Gợi ý trả lời:

• • Yes. I have a small happy family. My wife works as a teacher in the local school and our daughter, 6 years old, goes to school every day. She is adorable.
  • Yes. I’m the only child of the family and I’m still single, so I live together with my parents who have just retired.

• • I live in an extended family, with my grandparents, my uncle and aunt living together. We are very close-knit and happy.
  • My mother is very sociable, but my father prefers to do his gardening quietly.
  • My parents used to work in a state-run enterprise as engineers, but now they are both retired.

• • Does your name affect your personality?/ Did you take your family name from your mother or father?

Gợi ý trả lời:

Well, that’s an interesting question. I don’t think a name can affect a person’s personality. But some people believe it can.

• • In what situation will one change his name?

Gợi ý trả lời:

In Vietnam, there are several reasons why people will change their name. First of all, a child in his mother’s custody may take his stepfather’s family name if his mother was divorced and got remarried. A person may also like to change his name for his belief in superstition. When he is in trouble, he may consult some fortune-tellers to find a way out of the trouble. In this case, he is likely to change his name for the sake of good for-tune. Another situation I can think of is that a criminal may wish to change his name for illegal reasons.

• • Do you prefer a big family or a small one? Why?

Gợi ý trả lời:

• • I prefer to have a small family, the so-called nuclear family. Firstly, it’s the state recommendation that one couple should have two children, no more. For another, I like children a lot. I believe that my child is the continuation of my life. Finally, with a child, I feel that I take my family more seriously knowing that I have someone to care for.
  • I like to have a DINK family. As you can see, I am too young so I’m not ready to have a family. Also, sometimes I feel that I’m the one who needs a lot of care. Why don’t we just work and enjoy? By this way, I can spend time to learn some skills in order to keep up with the times.

• • How has family structure changed in the recent decades in Vietnam?

Gợi ý trả lời:

Well, family structure in Vietnam has changed a lot, generally from big to small. As you can see, Vietnamese people used to have extended families with a few generations living together. But as time goes on, people need to move with jobs and small families are more common as they’re easily mobile.

• • Who does most of the shopping / cooking / housework in the family?

Gợi ý trả lời:

Definitely my wife as she works has more spare time when I’m just too busy. But when I have time, I do share some of the housework.

• • Do you think couples should share the housework or should the wife take the main responsibility?

Gợi ý trả lời:

Yes. Couples should be equal in the family, so the housework should be shared. But it is understandable that when one is very busy, the other has to do more.

• • Who makes most of the decisions in your family, your mother or your father?

Why?

Gợi ý trả lời:

My father makes most of the decisions about trivial matters. But when it comes to important decisions, both of them will discuss and exchange opinions and make decisions together.

• • Are there many rules for children in Vietnam?

Gợi ý trả lời:

There’re some but not so many. For example, children should respect the seniors and have good manners. I suppose children all over the world do this.

• • Has this changed very much recently?

Gợi ý trả lời:

Some rules have changed but others are still the same. For example, children in the past should only be seen but not be heard, otherwise they would be severely punished.

But now, children can play freely, which is quite good I think, because it can facilitate their creativity and improve the rapport between parents and children.

• • Who is the person that has influenced you most in your family?

Gợi ý trả lời:

Both of them have influenced on me. They were very strict with me but always so helpful. Whenever I had any problem in my study, they would help me out through discussion.

They are so hard-working and understanding. Although we lived a simple life, we lived in happiness and harmony thanks to their diligence, independence and optimism. I learn from them to be optimistic and independent.

• • Can you describe a most important decision you have made recently?

Gợi ý trả lời:

The most important decision I have made in my life so far is the one I made about going abroad to study. Before I made this decision, I had considered it for a long time, nearly one year. I felt that what I had learned in the university is inadequate for my work now, so I really need to improve myself about the knowledge in relation to tourism and hospitality management. I know Britain is very good in this field, so I decided to pursue my further study in the UK. This decision is very important to me and to my future career. As I know, with the expertise I have acquired from my study abroad, I can fulfil my work and meet any challenge in my career. Apart from these, I can get a better position and a higher pay. So, I think this decision is very good and important for me.

PART 3:

MARRIAGE

• • Can you tell me something about marriage customs in Vietnam?
  • Are there any differences between the ways marriages are celebrated in different areas of Vietnam?
  • Do you see any changes in the pattern of marriages in Vietnam today?
  • Do you think things are likely to change in the future?
  • What changes do you foresee in the future?
  • Do you think that Western values have any influence on the Vietnamese view of marriage?
  • Why is divorce rate increasing so rapidly? Is it a problem?
  • In your opinion, is it acceptable for two young people to live together without getting married?

Question 1: How has marriage changed in Vietnam?

Well, a few decades ago, the marriage of young people used to be arranged by their parents with emphasis on the family background instead of the feelings of the young.

But now, they can marry someone they really love without too much focus on one’s back-ground. Nowadays, many young people just live together without getting married. Then, if things get bad, they don’t have to get divorced and hire lawyers and sue each other.

Question 2: What attitude do the Vietnamese people take towards divorce?

As you can see, the divorce rate has been on the increase recently in Vietnam. People now take an objective attitude towards divorce, but decades ago, being divorced means the end of the world for the woman, who was always the victim, because people would not sympathise with her, instead they put all the blame on her. You can imagine the divorced woman would live a miserable life ever since. Now things are very different.

Many wives actually ask for à divorce if they are not happy with the marriage. More often than not, some couples tend to divorce when love is lost in the daily routines. Well, the worst part of the divorce is the impact on the children.

Question 3: What do you think of the family life in Vietnam?

Well, as the saying goes, happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. In Vietnam, we still carry on the tradition of reunion with the family during the festival time, for example, the Moon Festival and the Tet Holiday. Wherever you are, you will manage to be back with your family members. But it has to be admitted that with the change of family style and the great variety of entertainment, people work far from home and the relationship is not as close as before. But we still admire those big and happy families.

FAMILY

Questions you may be asked

• • Do you agree that women should stay at home and look after the family and household?
  • Are there any other major influences on family life in Vietnam today?
  • How is family life different from what you experienced in your own upbringing?
  • How do you see the future of family life in Vietnam?
  • How far do you consider that Vietnamese social life revolves around the nuclear family?
  • What changes do you foresee in the future?
  • Overpopulation is a global problem, which is threatening the world today. Is there any other way to reduce the growth of population apart from birth control policy?
  • Some young people prefer a DINK family. What do you think of this family structure?
  • What do you think are the main problems of family life in Vietnam these days?
  • Should there be a better welfare system to care for old people? Why / Why not?
  • Is it difficult to bring up children in Vietnam today? Why /Why not? What are the difficulties?
  • What do you think is the best way to bring up children?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of being the only child in a family?
  • What will happen when people get old?
  • Do you consider the one-child policy to be wholly desirable / wholly effective?
  • What are the problems it raises? And how do you think those problems can be dealt with?
  • Do you see some drawbacks of the one-child policy in your own family?
  • How do parents try to compensate for those problems?

Question 1: Should there be any rules for children?

Of course yes, because proper rules and regulations will help the children to become a law-abiding citizen, easy to fit into any social or working environment when they grows up. But too many strict rules will deprive children of their imagination, livelihood and creativity. So, we should be lax when they are very young, say, about 1 or 2 years old. And it’s important for parents to set good examples for children in terms of moral values and social responsibilities.

Question 2: What is the biggest problem Vietnam faces?

I think population explosion is the biggest problem in Vietnam. We have more than eighty million people. It causes a series of social problems, such as unemployment, social instability, and so on. But hopefully, with the “one couple, one child or two children recommendation, the situation has been improved

Question 3: What are the major results of overpopulation?

I think that if the world’s population goes on increasing at the present rate, the world’s energy resources will be used up sooner or later. (or: If the population of the earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to sustain life on the planet.) So, all the governments in the world should take measures to bring the birth rate under control. Overpopulation is the root of unemployment, increasing rubbish, lacking resources, and reduced green land. A lot of Vietnam problems stem from overpopulation.

Question 4: What is the birth control situation in the cities?

The situation in the urban areas is much better than in the rural areas. The city dwellers are comparatively better educated. They are fully aware of the severity of the population problem in the world. They are happy with one child, either a boy or a girl.

Question 5: What is the situation in the rural areas in Vietnam?

Well, I’ve heard that it was a problem in the countryside, where people used to think only boys could carry on family trees and be the main labour force. So, if their first-born was a girl, they would keep trying for a son. But by educating these people, we can see that the work of family planning is going much better in the countryside nowadays.

Question 6: Apart from the one-child or two-children recommendation, are there any other measures to reduce the population?

More men and women are waiting longer to get married and are using birth control devices and methods to prevent or delay pregnancy. Well, of course, some people delay having children, because they’re making great efforts to achieve self-fulfilment first
